Elizabeth Marvel wins lead role in Marvel’s Helstrom, presumably by default
Elizabeth Marvel, who we’re going to assume is a scion of the Marvel dynasty without Googling it first, has scored a lead role in Hulu’s Helstrom, an adaptation of the Marvel comic of the same name. She’ll play Victoria Helstrom, the wife of, well, Satan, who’s described here as a “mysterious and powerful serial killer.” As such, she’s been institutionalized for 20 years and is now trying to repair her relationship with her kids: Daimon and Ana Helstrom.
They’ll be played by Tom Austen and Sydney Lemmon, respectively. Austen you might know from The Borgias, while Lemmon’s a Fear The Walking Dead alum who recently turned heads as an onscreen fling of Succession’s Kendall Roy. Austen’s Daimon “moonlights as an exorcist,” and hopes to “root out demons as they arise.” Ana, meanwhile, “suffers no fools,” and is determined to rid the world of those like her father. Per Deadline, they’ll do this using “their chaotically supernatural abilities and connection to the underworld.”
